ME SMALLEST KINGDOM.

Death of Paul /. OF Tavolara-Ihres
Other Small States.
What schoolmaster, to say nothing Of
"every schoolboy," knows that there is
a European kingdom named Tavolara
lying in the Mediterranean, or rather
Tyrrhenian waters. the King of which.
Paul !. died only few months ago, full
of years and honorsP OFF the northeast
coast of the island of Sardinia lies the
much smaller island of Tavolara, five
miles long and one broad. Its possess
sion and absolute sovereignty were for
mally granted by King Charles Albert
of Sardinia to the Bartoleoni family.
and for more than half a century Paul
l, King of Tavolara, reigned over it in
peace. On May 30th last King Paul
was compelled to go to the mainland
to seek treatment for heart disease.
Finding that science was powerless
in his case the king returned to his
island to die in the midst of his subjects,
who are forty in number. He died sit
ting in his chair, like the Emperor YES
pasian, vainly endeavoring to write a
will. He was 7S years old. The forty
subjects of Re Paelo, as they called him,
lost in him benevolent and industrious
monarch; his family lost kind father,
and the wild goats of the island, more
numerous than his subjects, lost-we
will not say they mourn the loss of-an
intrepid hunter.
Tavalora is a smaller State than even
the Republic of San Marino, lying east
of Italy. which has twenty-five square
miles and 5000 people; the principality
of Monaco. on the French coast of the
Mediterranean, near the Italian from
tier. which has eight and one-half square
miles and $500 inhabitants, or the Re-
public of Andorra, lying between France
and Spain, which is 600 square miles in
extent and has 1000 people.-Youth's

An Incident of Sharpsburg.

jeff R. Ruffin, of Virginia, writes;
''As the Crenshaw battery of the con-
federate army was going into the bat
tie of Sharpsburg, Nd, in 1862. some
of the men met the members of Mack
intosh's South Carolina battery rum
ming out of the fight with the sponge
stats and other implements used by
artillerymen in their hands. The guns
and horses were captured, but the cam
noneers escaped. At this juncture
some of A. P. Hills infantry came up,
drove the enemy back. and. reestablish-
ing the line enabled the flying cannon
eers to return to their guns. This hap
pened SO quickly that the federals did
not have time to carry off the guns OF
horses. Had the first-named battery
been few minutes earlier in It's ar
rival it, too, would have been captured.
This happened on the extreme right Of
Gen. Lees line of battle, and but for
the timely ctrival of Hills troops his
flank would have been turned and his
army utterly defeated. or. perhaps,
annihilated. This has never before ap-
peared iii print"

The County Fair.

Tho county fair season is fully on.
and "all aboard for the fair grounds!''
is the cry that reverberates in hun
dreds of villages and towns throughout
this broad land. One fair is but repe-
tion of all the rest. and of pretty much
all that have gone before since the
county fair was invented. The same
prize cattle, and horses. and pigs, and
sheep. and poultry. are there. At least
they look just the same. The Same
boy contributes his fingers to the
straw-cutter exhibit, and the same girl
feeds her parasol to the merino sheep.
There is long parade of threshing. ma
chimes in new red paint, like lot Of
circus wagons just out of the paint
shop in the Spring. Then the patent
farm gates scattered around the
grounds, some that open. others that
rise up in the air, and still others that
throw themselves fiat on the ground
Singular enough, none of these farm
gates that work so perfecly on the fair
grounds ever get steady job on a
farm. They are tried sometimes for a
while. but soon find their place in the
refuse lumber pile back of the barn,
and the farmers gate is opened with q
long sweep loaded with stones at the
end. just as it has been for SO many

Which is Married to the Other?


A Chicago writer discusses the ques-
ton whether at weddings the man is
married to the woman or the woman
married to the man. Should the mar
riage notice read: "Mary Ann, daugh-
ter of Jehial Mossback, to Ahashuerus
Startem," or 'Ahashuerus Startem. to
Mary Ann. daughter of JehialP" That
is the question which agitates Chicago.
The weight of testimony is all in
favor Of wedding the woman to the
man. The Bible is on that side Of the
question andrso is the marriage service
of the Episcopal Church. Usually; too
the husband objects to being married to
the woman, unless she has money. He
prefers the other form and most of the
ladies agree to it.-LticG Herald.

How the Child Told the Story.

HOW Cu6 Sull0 lou IIl0 6LClY.
A lady up town. who is a devout
Catholic, took her little girl to church
for the first time the other evening.
1t was some occasion for children and
the little one was deeply interested.
The priest told them all about what
they were looking at, and the presenta-
ton that most took hold of the child
was picture of the crucifxion. In
simple language the father related the
story of that momentous scene, and
when the little girl got home she began
to tell them all about it from her point
Of view. With intense earnestness.
and eyes speaking all the wonder that
filled her mind, she went over the Incl
dents as her infantile brain conceived
them, and with a child's practicality
she brought it down to the comprehen-
sion Of her listeners, as she ended:
'And what do you think? They just

The Lucky Ones.

Saturday night the streets were
thronged with people, and a large por,
ton of them gathered at the different
stores where the drawings and raffies
were held. The first place we visited
where a large and elegant toilet case
was to be given to the lucky person,
was at Dean & Connects drug store.
George McGinnis won the case and is
the most tickled young gent in the
city.
The next place was at A. S. Aliens
drug store where E. r. Moses won a
gold watch and viii Carney had an
extra streak of good luck, winning a
handsome smoking set and an elegant
silver pitcher. Another rattle was held
and E. r. Moses came to the front
again and won a ladies' handsome
work box.
From Aliens we stepped into Char
ley Hooper's drug store which was
literally packed with people. Here
Will Merritt won beautiful toilet set,
Charlie Allison and G.. w. Moore,
ditto; Charley Beye won the large
music box and Bert Dawson carried
off another handsome toilet set At
the above places the participants had
plenty of sport, while they WED for
the various coveted articles and the
pfoprietors treated them TO their
choicest brands of cigars.

A Good Day.

The moderating of the weather
and the approach of the holidays
brought in great number Of people
Saturday. You will be surprised when
we tell you that by aetural count, at
two o'clock in the afternoon, there
were to be seen 265 teams on the
streets. There are few towns along
the Santa Fe-road of the age of this
city, which have more thickly set
tied territory tributary to them than
has Great Bend, as the appearance of
our streets to-day will demonstrate.

The Mask Ball.

The tenth annual mask ball, given
by the Great Bend band, was attend
ed last Friday night by the usual large
numbers, both masked and unmarked.
The best of order was preserved, and
the merry feet spun round and round
in joyous glee to most excellent music.
Dancing was kept up in a steady
whirl until after 1 o'clock.
The costumes were some of them
magnificent, and taking them all to-
gether there were more handsome
costumes than have ever before been
exhibited at masquerade in this city.
The prompting by Messrs. Ed. Hotch-
kiss and Frank Wilson was plain, and
very few bitches occurred in the
changes of the dance.
NOTES.
jeff Loeb was a natural "take off. y
Poole says he smelled furniture
polish" whenever A. G. Schermerhorn
came around.
Some of the best dancers of the
city were so afraid that their dancing
would "give them away" that they
went lame.
Ed. Marks overalls were quite be-
coming; he ought to have kept them
on until after unmasking.
The scrap album costume of Miss
c. L. was very unique and pretty.
One young lady got up an elegant
costume and prepared to attend the
ball, but Harry did net come.
The plug hat trick was perpetrated
on Mr.. Poole in good shape.
